The speculation is that, while building the new webpage, they just copypasted that line from somewhere else, just temporarily to give the page a bit of visual structure. But whether the content of that sentence reflects reality, we'll only only if an update will ever come out...

The sudden max velocity output when quickly hitting keys issue was definitely there on HA Stage 3s. I have occasionally run into it. So it's good to know they took measures to improve it. I remember when I first got my Stage 3 almost 2 years ago this was being discussed a fair bit, after a YouTube video of a guy demonstrating this issue began circulating. It made it look like much serious than actually is though. As I said, unless you're purposefully trying to recreate the issue, it only shows up very occasionally during normal playing -- But in certain condition, depending on the gigs, even a single occurrence can spoil the performance... so good it's been addressed.

We cross posted.
If "all" or almost all the existing bugs were fixed with a future update, I'd be still quite happy even without new features to be honest...

Also I am glad to see they fixed the Program Change message handling bug. Back then, that had forced me to change the configuration in which I was hooking up my MIDI stuff to it...

You are right, we are always posting when something is not working, but I can say that I'm happy with my NS3 as it is.

Agree... Also, let's not forget that the Stage Classic and the Stage 2 got updates many years after the release. Last Stage 2 update is from 2019, and nobody said it is to be the "last". We just have to get used to Clavia timing in releasing them...

was this a known defect?

I remember the youtube channel ThePianoforever making a review/comparison of NS3 and mentioning that repeating the same note very quickly can result in keystrokes having maximum velocity even though they should not.

Well - disappointing after all this time. Was really hoping they would get a lot of the organ/Leslie parameters on a per program basis .... sigh .....

+ vibrato settings. Surely can not be hard that to implement. Just like all the midi-related settings.

Chorus/vibrato settings are already per program... or did you mean the Farfisa and Vox C/V bug? That one I'd have liked to see it addressed too... it's too bad these two organs don't get much attention.

No attention too ...the phase/flange bug in the fx section, always on at 0 amount, .....from the biginning !!!
not a big one , but impossible to morph : (

Alright I flashed the new OS and I have been playing around for a hour or so, and I can't recreate the "loud key" issue, not even when purposefully striking the same key as quick as I can, which usually was he way to trigger that. So good job Clavia!
